Maybe I'm missing something, but how exactly does one share fiber? Isn't
it usually a closed loop between DWDM or Sonet nodes? It doesn't seem fair
to force the incumbents to start handing out lambdas and timeslots to their
competitors on the business side. I guess passive optical can be shared
depending on the details of the network, but that would still be much
different than sharing copper pairs.
